A set of extension rings for both ports gives as an unlimited choice between all cinema PL mount lenses available in the market.

Rouge is the most compact and flexible housing available in the industry which makes u/w shooting much easier and time saving.

LIGHT & COMMUNICATION

Underwater light & communication

Shooting underwater interfears light and a lot of times we need more light to fill the strong sun light or lights to light the set when you work in a tank or a pool. Out of the Blue designed and constructed a series of underwater lghts that suit in every ocasion. Our lights are 650W each and they can deliver either 3200K or 5000K light. They can be used as units or in groups in order to produce a stronger and softer light.

A communication system is used in order to coordinate the shoot underwater. Out system includes a loud puplic address amplifier and a high quality underwater loudspeaker. the director can talk while shooting to the underwater crew as well to the actors.
